Ska-punksters and arch exponents of tuneful 90s agit-pop to a wider world, Scum of Toytown are a response to the boredom and disaffection of London overspill life in Stevenage, UK. Rooted in the North London punk scene of the 70s and 80s, the main members met and began playing together in the late 80s. Gravitating towards the lively free festival and squat scene, SOTT played numerous dates in the UK with bands like RDF, Back to the Planet, Citizen Fish, Senser, 25th of May, Blaggers ITA, Dub War, Bender, The Cowboy Killers and AOS3. Three highly successful tours were organised on the central European squat scene through the influential Kopi collective in Berlin.
Tracks were realeased on a number of compilations, a DIY 7" EP, and an outstanding album, 'Strike', recorded at Southern Studios in Wood Green with the help of the Newport based Words of Warning label. Generous reviews were recieved for their recorded music in the underground and mainstream music press. Several tracks received national radio airplay, including an airing of the iconic 'Jackboot Crusade' by the late John Peel and, most recently, Tom Ravenscroft played 'Sink or Swim' on BBC 6 Music in November 2010.
SOTT stopped playing together around 1997. However, in 2010 events brought them back together and the band are currently working on a host of new songs, with recording and some selected live shows in the pipeline.
